Is 90wt shock oil to heavy for my nero?

@Headbangerfacerip this is for the Nero though which has a completely different suspension.
@The last Nero according to page 40 of the owners manual it comes with 3,000cst shock oil, which according to the link below would put it at 240wt. So I would think that 90wt oil would make the suspension really soft.

Arrma Granite shocks use 350cSt (or 30wt) oil.
Arrma Kraton shocks use 550cSt (or roughly 43wt) oil.
Arrma Nero shocks use 1000cSt (or 80wt) oil.
I do not know. The Big Rock manual calls out 1,000cst and the Nero manual calls out 3,000cst. I cannot verify that it is indeed correct.Wonder why in the first post of that thread they said the nero used 1,000cst.
Wow I'm really light then, thanks@Headbangerfacerip this is for the Nero though which has a completely different suspension.

I cannot confirm that the manual is right however. I am just stating that that's what the manual says. If you have 90wt you may want to compare it to what is in the shocks already. If the shocks have 1,000cst/80wt already they should be similar in consistency.Wow I'm really light then, thanks
I did 50 front and 60 rear on my outcast and its definitely to soft how do you like 80 and are you using it front and rear?I use 80 on my outcast and it still could be heavier some times. But i air it pretty good. View attachment 19148
I use 80 all around. I'm not sure about their manuals but the one i have says 80 stock. So that's what i used. It's way way harder then stock but it works great!! The only thing is is i put an extra hole or two in the pistons because with such thick fluid it blows out the center where the shaft goes threw on huge airs. And ever sense i put an extra hole in it it last a little longer. I actually started a thread about if someone knows any better options then the stock shock pistons. I haven't gotten any responses yet.I did 50 front and 60 rear on my outcast and its definitely to soft how do you like 80 and are you using it front and rear?

I'll try the extra hole trickI use 80 all around. I'm not sure about their manuals but the one i have says 80 stock. So that's what i used. It's way way harder then stock but it works great!!

Can I just Google pot racing oils? What did it cost you?I agree 90wt is gonna be spongey. I run pt racing oils and on request you can order any cst you want.
PT not pot sorryCan I just Google pot racing oils? What did it cost you?
About the same price as team oils just able to find tune your cst.Can I just Google pot racing oils? What did it cost you?
Diff fluid and shock fluid are the same just after a certain thickness they start to call it diff fluid.I found the pt oil website but they only have 3000cst in diff oil, can I use that in my shocks?
